School me on these solar packages
I'm trying to do some more research on investing in portable solar panels. From prior discussion I've come to basic feeling that maybe 200 watts sitting in the sun for the day would suffice to offset...

Any panel can be portable. I have two panels, one is 125 watts and the other is 85 watts. Both are 12 volt nominal wired in parallel. When in use, I set them in the sun and connect them to my coach with a 50ft. #10 extension cable. I started with the 125 watt panel then added the 85 watt later.
The Renogy panels referenced by the OP look like a good starting point, two 100 watt panels that weigh 16.5 lbs. each. My 125 watt panel weighs about 30 lbs. and can be a bit cumbersome.
If I were starting from scratch, I would buy two identical panels, wire them in series, and connect them to a MPPT controller.
Here's some photos of my setup:
